Hello everyone! PG here again and sorry for the lack of updates. Truth be told, there really hasn’t been much in the way of news (unless you’re a fan of nitty-gritty medical details, mostly the results here are bupkis).
Long story short, Miu was not doing too well and ended up in the hospital again while I was gone to Sakura-Con…a bit of an iffy time there, since the reason we’d originally signed up for a second year was to promote the webcomic…since he wasn’t able to attend and the webcomic is obviously still on hold for now, well, it became a mixed booth of CS books, used books, and the few P&C-related things we had on hand. As an aside, a big thank you to the folks who stopped by the booth to send well-wishes or buy things! It’s all going back into his medical care at this point, bleh. Hoping to go back again for a third year. Next time, I hope he can make it too. >_< He is doing better and is home now, but currently only upright and conscious for about…maybe 6 hours a day.
In a strange and annoying congruence of events, his computer is slowly giving up the ghost due to some kind of virus/trojan. He suspects it got picked up on dA (check your scanners! make sure they’re protecting your computers!) and it’s basically now rendered his computer immobile (complete with actual hardware problems) and will have to be completely redone. Great timing! >_< Considering how much art and huge files he has on his computer, merely backing everything up has been an annoying stretch…although it is helping us get reorganized, something that had gotten put off since he’d gotten the more serious bouts of his health problems.
So, here I am, and here’s a scribbly guest comic by me for you while I try desperately to get caught up with shipping the backlog of orders from his store, the Club Stripes store, and my own…sadly this is a true story as recounted to me by Miu, and yeah…that’s some skillful puking there, I guess. <XD No worse torment for a foodie than to be holed up in a hospital that decides boiling vegetables into mush (with no salt) is a great way to keep patients’ spirits up, ha ha. The only reason the squash didn’t come up too was because, well, he didn’t eat it. ;p
Next week we have a cute guest comic, so hope you check back! :)
Good to hear he’s on the way forward, at least.
Hope he gets better soon, and that little comic is 404ing for me :c
Up! Darn these WordPress upgrades. –PG
Awesome. Interesting that what is usually a day of bad luck happens to be looking forward slightly for him.
Also, yay, muffins :D
good to hear that he’s not best of luck with every thing and hope he gets well
Much hugs and love to the both of you. Hang in there Miu.
<3
I really hope he gets better soon. Thanks for letting us know. I was wondering if there´s a way to send you two a physical letter, I did a watercolor fanart of jam a while ago and I really want him to have it… here´s the scan if you want to check it.
Hello there mate. I wish for him to get well soon. I hate friday the 13th.
Anyways, I don’t normally contact Miu, because i don’t consider myself a truthful and loyal Peaches and Cream fan (just had a hard time getting my hands on physical copies of the stuff, due to money shortage) However I do know some stuff that may help you.
Yeah there was another virus/trojan incident at Deviant Art. It’s really sad they get targeted from time to time. However- the following program may be able to help clear your computer a tiny bit. Look online for “MalwareBytes” The free version should suffice.
If that doesn’t work there are more advanced methods of virus/malware removal, i just don’t have the means to easily suggest anything at the moment. I hope this helps mate. Take care.
There was a recent article in a dA usergoup that some Rainlender skins have Virii and malware put in with them on purpose. If Mui uses Rainlender, that may be whats causing it…
I’m sorry too hear that Miu had to go into the hospital, but it’s good too know he’s back home now <3. I wish him a healthy recovery.
Sad too hear about his computer getting a bug. I'm not surprised that he got it from Deviantart, that place has become a festering ground for viruses, trojans and other infections. Hell it's one of the reasons why i stopped going there. I realize its a pain in the ass, having too back up the work, but in the past I have had experiences with a free removal program called: Malware's Anti malware and it works wonders at removing the infections from Deviantart.
More so if you know what the Virus is called you can do a search for it in google and find "how to remove" instructions for that type. A majority of the times i've been directed to Malware's removal and it does work. It even offers a support software that keeps the virus from interfering with the scans and removal process. I highly recommend giving it a try, if only too avoid the do over on your PC.
It makes me sad you had to go throug all that and really wish you get better soon!
Good to see your back! I hope you’re doing well!!
LOL Having to eat the same food that you hate over and over will make you do this :p
Poor guy. <:3 Be sure to eat something good to make up for it and feel better!
Definitely good to hear from you guys again. Here’s hoping Miu gets back on his feet soon; we all want to see the comic continue again!
Finally good to hear some news, thanks for the update PG. As said before, I highly suggest getting a free antivirus program for your computer to prevent data loss caused by viruses.
I hope for a hasty recovery for your and your computer, Miu.
Well, ham and potatoes is better than grits…
So glad to hear Miu is doing better. And ya hospital food is brutal stuff. Hope he gets better and you guys do fine. It Would be cool to go to Sakura con some point but I cant go to too many cons and I go to Akon usually. Oh well still again glad to hear he’s better.
Thanks so much for the update, Pony. Glad to hear Miu is back home and I hope he continues to get better at a nice pace.
Good to heard he’s alright!
Really in DA? huh, yeah there were some sites that are showing fake Trojan scanners randomly lately.
Anyways, my best wishes to Miu from me and everyone in this site.
I know you’re in hard times, but you gotta endure.
I hope he get’s better soon :3
Thank you for the update, and best wishes of health to Miu! ^_^
I hope he feels better soon. Good luck to both of you!
D: FEEL BETTER SOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Dear lord!
Mius turned into a muffin!
What sort of evil is this?!
Heh, that actually was pretty funny. Miu the muffin, you are what you eat ;)
Part of me feels really bad that you had to go through such a horrible food moment, but the cute comic of the donkey fellow softens the blow.
Get well soon!
Ok, I had hoped that he’d get well soon, but man :c
NO! We must keep HOPE! *flails* DX
Ok, seriously, I gotta do something, even if its small doodle or something.
I’ll post to my furaffinity when i get it done :D
Sad to hear about Miu’s health woes but glad to see the cutesy guest comic by ponygirl ^_^.
As others have suggested, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware progame is very good at getting rid of nasties. I also highly recommend rummaging around on the Bleeping Computer forums for help removing it. They usually have very good guides and helpful community members to walk you through the removal process.
All the best to the P&C crew, hope you all are well, well, eventually that is ^:^;;
I was so sad to hear that Miu was sick again… I truly hope the worst is behind him now. PG, let him know he’s in all our thoughts and prayers.
If you don’t mind me asking, just what kinda health problems are we talking here? Cause they REALLY put Miu out of commission when they happen.
Where are you located? I’d be happy to look at the computer at no cost. If we’re not semi-local, I can help fix almost anything over the phone, instant messenger or email.
I doubt the virus came from DeviantArt, not that it isn’t possible, but it’s highly unlikely because of what it takes to deliver a virus and the systems DA has in place prevent most such exploits.
Anyway, give a holler if you want a hand getting the computer back up where it needs to be :)
I hope he´ll be ok, sent him wishes from Mex
Wait, DA is a virus breeding ground?
…Lovely. Anybody have a suggestion for a replacement (since not all my art is furry, it can’t be FA)?
Anyways, glad to hear that he hasn’t died. AND CUTE DONKEY OMG!
